i lowered mine 60mm on standard shocks, was absolutley fine mate, then i lowered it 80mm on standard shocks, they began to suffer! springs wont really give you any performance gains though, shocks will give you gains!

ooh i nearly missed this!! ill defs be getting mine out to show off the new mods tonight if people are meeting up!! though i will be doing NO spirited driving!! see ya there peepyhoes!

tbh, i dont like southend anymore its cold and dank and very few people actually go there anymore! ill be over lakeside tonight, either in my car, or my mates golf, its a lot better than southend, id recommend it!! lol and if you see a mk1 clio with a carbon bonnet about, give me a beep!

youre brave doing that to an original willaims, most people keep them minty mint and in showroom state! i bet its great fun to own/drive though!

or simply cry??

they on the track arms (duh) ive managed to get the locking bolt looose, but cant seem to budge the rod end from the track arm!! is there any tips to doing this?? or shall i use heat and patience?? thanks alex

haha i had to do the 2x4 trick x2! even a low jack wouldnt get under my old bus! takes 2 seconds lol

all 3 wouldnt go at once!! id be incredibly suspicious and take the car back tbh, look over it yourself, its pretty easy to see if the clutch and driveshaft have gone! and 2 weeks to get parts?? since the shaft and box need to come out anyway for a clutch change, the labour shouldnt be too...

As above really, i have a carbon bonnet, but i want to convert to bonnet pins for quick and easily removal. however i dont really want to be drilling/cutting straight into carbon fibre because im scared of splitting it!

tbh, if youre looking to go low, 60mm isnt really enough, best bet is to get the budget coilovers off ebay, theyre even easier to fit that springs and you can have it at any ride height you like! 90 for springs + 90 to fit or 200ish for coilovers and if yourself!

No they won't dude, the only brakes that 13s will fit over is the 1.2 8v brakes!

so i want to "service" my brakes (new pads, discs, lines, fluid) is there any way i can grease up the caliper slider to make it move more freely??

i can do a full set of clio springs in about an hour, and thats with no ramp, regular tools, and im far from a trained mechanic! do it yourself man, its a very simply job, or pay a garage top for £50 to do just the front (and do the backs yourself) or pay no more than 70 for the full job!

atm, im going to run the valver track for this summer, but am very tempted to go down the 172 engine/track this winter/next year to run 172 brakes you need 172 hubs which require 172 shocks and full track with steering rack, wishbones, and arb no????

haha your final point is the one thats swaying me at the moment (shameful as it sounds) good good, as atm, in the dry, i dont have enough braking force to lock the wheels if i wanted too! implying a brake upgrade should be on the cards!! (and completely rebleeding the system!) ive asked you in...

Looks great mate, where are you thinking of doing your track sessions?? my clio should be ready by marchish and id love to tag along for some beginner sessions!!

is it the picture, or is the passenger door rotten and fooook??

yes for the braking torque is equvelant to braking force x radius, so less force will be needed by the brakes to make the same stopping power, meaning less heat/less fade

using the same callipers with this kit http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=201&appid=1 would it make a noticable difference in braking performance?? over using the same products but sticking with 260mm discs? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=199&appid=1 thanks
